OPERATING TIPS
See Figure 8.
• The bag is installed and zipped
closed (when used as a mulcher).
• Be sure the bag is zipped closed
before operating the unit.
• Assure the unit is not directed at anybody or
any loose debris before starting the unit.
• Verify that the unit is in good working
condition. Make sure the tubes and
guards are in place and secure.
• Always hold the unit with both
hands when operating.
• Keep a firm grip on both the front
and rear handle or grips.
• To reduce the risk of hearing loss
associated with sound level(s),
hearing protection is required.
• Use the shoulder strap when
using unit as a mulcher.
• Operate power equipment only at reasonable
hours not early in the morning or late at
night when people might be disturbed.
Comply with times listed in local ordinances.
Usual recommendations are 9:00 am to
5:00 pm, Monday through Saturday.
• To reduce noise levels, limit the number of
pieces of equipment used at any one time.
• To reduce noise levels, operate power blowers
at the lowest possible speed to do the job.
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen
debris before blowing.
• In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces.
• Conserve water by using power blowers
instead of hoses for many lawn and garden
applications, including areas such as gutters,
screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.

OPERATING AS A BLOWER
Hold the blower firmly. Sweep from side to
side with the nozzle several inches above
the ground or floor. Slowly advance the unit,
keeping the accumulated pile of debris in
front of you. Most dry blowing operations are
better suited to low speeds, rather than high.
High speed blowing is a better way to move
heavier items like large debris or gravel.
OPERATING AS A MULCHER
Hold the vac firmly, tilting the mulcher tubes
(2-4 in. or 5-10 cm), and use a sweeping action
to collect light debris. The debris will flow
into the bag. Items such as small leaves and
twigs will be mulched as they pass through
the fan housing. For longer bag life and
increased performance, empty the bag often.
